These authentic 19th-century salt-glazed ginger beer bottles are increasingly sought after for primitive, farmhouse, and historic interior styling. Offered as a matched group of four, they display honest age, kiln character, and surface variation that decorators and collectors look for. Pieces like this are becoming harder to source as intact sets. These bottles date from the mid-to-late 19th century, recovered during the demolition of an old Savannah, Georgia building in the 1950s. These salt-glazed bottles feature the classic two-tone tan and gray coloration associated with English and early American ginger beer or mineral water containers.

Each bottle was hand-thrown and fired, showing natural kiln variations and surface character. One bottle bears an impressed “B” maker’s mark near the base—possibly from Brampton Pottery (Derbyshire, England)—while the other three are unmarked. One bottle still retains a portion of its original cork.

Dimensions:
Each bottle measures approximately 8½ inches tall and 3 inches wide.

Provenance:
Recovered from a demolished building in Savannah, Georgia, during the 1950s. These were likely imported English ginger beer bottles reused locally.
